Egypt to prosecute Mobinil employees

The Egyptian government has charged four Mobinil employees to court for serving the interests of Israel, the country’s top prosecutor’s office said on Monday. Mobinil is the largest telecom operator in Egypt.

The move comes as tension between Egypt and Israel continues to grow.

“The state security prosecutor referred four employees of Mobinil telecom company to the state security court on the charge of passing calls to the benefit of the State of Israel,” the prosecutor said.
